What's your Most Overated Place to eat...
 

Ruby Tuesdays
And Japanese restaurants where you sit around the stainless steel grill...

Applebee's

Agreed..........

Outback is over rated and The Olive garden too

Among chain restaurants, I once liked those steakhouse buffets like Golden Corral. However, I don't know if my taste has gotten better or their quality has gotten worse, but they seem to produce pretty low-quality food. I tend to value quality over quantity these days.

Pick a chain, any chain... Applebees, Outback, Olive Garden... they're all junk.

I worked in a few in the old days & they cant even make a steak right, kept cold right up until they go on the grill.

Joe's Crab Shack.

Bubba Gumps

The mid-tier restaurant chains, as mentioned, can't be overrated. They knowingly serve average food.

Golden Corral. I ****ing hate that place.
Applebee's. Overpriced declining quality food
McDonalds. Garbage

The Red Lobster
Chili's

Both of these also suck.

Pei Wei or PF Changs.

But yeah pretty much any Chain restaurants serve mediocre food at best.

Applebees was good 15-20 years ago. Now it's crap.

This.

Also, I typically don't eat at any place I find to be overrated. In my book, a restaurant gets a certain number of chances to impress me:

Food quality: 2 times (cooks can have an off night)
Service: 3 times (if service is bad 3 times, it's a problem with management, not the 20 year old serving your food)
